Pokemon Card of the Day #2892: Focus Band (Neo Genesis)

One of the first batch of Pokemon Tools was Focus Band, and it was one of the most important. When the Pokemon it was attached to would be Knocked Out by the opponent's attack, you flipped a coin. If heads, the Pokemon wasn't Knocked Out but had 10 HP remaining instead. Focus Band would then be discarded. This brought one more coin flip to a game that was full of them, as if any more luck was needed in the era of Baby Pokemon.

Baby Pokemon were even the best users of this, as Cleffa would have to get 2 tails flips to fall if attacked instead of 1. Giovanni's Machamp was also a good user due to the need to flip twice to be Knocked Out, and Kingdra could get a 50-50 to take a strong hit and then heal everything off with Pokemon Center if the heads was hit. But really, any Pokemon that wasn't taking recoil from its attacks could use Focus Band rather well, and the card that had to be at least considered in most decks while it was available.

embrace // copia // 360 words, gn, sort of nsft, mdni

He pants into your ear, breath hot and wet. Your hand is buried in grey-streaked curls, even the slightest tug drawing a whimper from his mouth. It’s been such a long day, so many long days, and what are you aching for if not the comfort of your lover’s body, the familiar touch of hands that know you better than your own?

The pace is slow, each thrust strenuous but you both can’t stop, glued together by the signs of a long night spent in each other’s embrace. You know you won’t part before you both can’t keep your eyes open any longer and even then you don’t think you can keep yourself together without him wrapped around you like a human band-aid, spread across invisible cracks of a worn out body.

Copia presses his lips against the column of your throat, one last effort before he goes slack. His cheek comes to rest on your chest, skin damp with perspiration, but he does not seem to mind. You rub both of his shoulders, admire the expanse of pale freckled skin that stretches out on top of you. His hair clings to his forehead, wet and mussed up, and you gently comb it back over his brow.

He’s calming down slowly, nose poking your skin as he nuzzles with some remaining strength. He releases one long breath before he goes still, lets himself get heavy. You are comforted by his weight, by every part of his body that is still connected to yours. He is hot to the touch but soon you both shiver without the heat of friction, goosebumps spreading like twin waves across your limbs.

You drape the blanket around him, covering only a few meagre inches that are exposed. It’ll have to do until you both wake up later, settling in for a proper rest. Until then it’s his breath that you focus on, a lullaby in its own right, only softer, sweeter. Your lids grow too heavy before you can catch them and you finally allow yourself the comfort of letting go, the tickling of his snores a vague sensation in the distance.

when will i ever be as locked in as battle-fatigued shifty powers in bastogne? imagine peering out into white, uniform nothing and managing to clock a just planted, brand spankin' new tree in noville that turned out to be hiding german 88s? casually saying, "it wasn't there yesterday," because you saw it with your bare ass eyeballs two kilometers away. no binoculars needed. insane. what a guy.
